unfortunate victims to fooling with fire.
arms. Last Monday afternoon, about half
past five, some boys were playing in little
cave on the bank of the Illinois river, down
back of the Fireproof Construction Com
panys plant, and Eddie Bailey, a boy of
some thirteen years, produced pistol which
the boys were fooling WITH when Chef Ruger
son of Jessie B. Ruger, was accidentally shot
in the arm. The pistol went off before Bailey
expected it to, and Ruger felt something
strike his arm. He said to Bailey, "Youve
shot me- Bailey said, "No, l haven't shot
anybody" Ruger then felt inside his coat
and there was blood on his clothing He i'm.
mediately ran down town to his fathers
office. DR.. Hathaway was called and made
careful examination. Young Ruger was
taken home in carriage, put to bed, and
the wound dressed, Tuesday morning the
wound not acting to the Doctors satisfaction,
he summoned DR.. Dyer to assist him, chlor-
oform was administered to the boy,
and the wound completely cleaned and
dressed. The bullet had to be cut out Of the
arm, as did also some fragments of cloth
which the ball had carried with it. The lad
is doing as well as could be expected, al
though the wound is very painful.
The pistol which was the cause of the
accident is now in Mr.. Jesse Ruger's pos
session. 1t is little castiron, two.for.s-
cent sort of a plaything such as make three
fourths of all the pistol accidents.

The long drawn.ou legal contest between
&. w. Ravens as executor of the late G. W.
Bernhard, with j. j. Witte over the owner
ship of the Central ILLINOIS Wochmbkdn has
at last come to decree. The suit was begun
Sept. 10, 1879, eight years ago. The peti.
toner Ravens, as executor, asked for an &C
counting by Witte Of the business of that
newspaper. 1t was claimed by the petitioner
that the two men were only partners in the
profits Of the business. There were no pa
pers among Denhard's effects that indicated
any ownership in the materials or good will
by Witte. Bernhard, however, on becoming
recorder Of deeds, retired from active man
agement Of the paper, and employed an edi-
tor, Witte controlling the mechanical depart
ment. The executor claims that while Den
hard never sold an interest in the materials
or good will, the two simply divided the
profits IN lieu Of salary to Witte. Witte
claimed not only the good will of the paper
as surviving partner, but also partnership
interest in the materials and machinery. A
decree based ON an equal partnership was
rendered
